Web services

Requirement

Starting from OpenGrok 1.0, the webservice is included in the provided build.

Syntax

{host}/{webapp_name}/json?freetext={keyword}&maxresults=80...

{webapp_name} is the name of war archive, for example "source" in the default build configuration.

The overall query parameters (maxresults, freetext, def, symbol, path and hist) and result attributes (directory, filename, lineno, line, path, results, duration, resultcount) are defined as:

private static final String PARAM_FREETEXT = "freetext"; // query params start
private static final String PARAM_DEF = "def";
private static final String PARAM_SYMBOL = "symbol";
private static final String PARAM_PATH = "path";
private static final String PARAM_HIST = "hist";
private static final String PARAM_MAXRESULTS = "maxresults"; // query params end
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY = "directory"; // attributes in response JSON start
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_FILENAME = "filename";
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_LINENO = "lineno";
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_LINE = "line";
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_PATH = "path";
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_RESULTS = "results";
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_DURATION = "duration";
private static final String ATTRIBUTE_RESULT_COUNT = "resultcount"; // attributes in response JSON end

Response example

You can take this response for example:

{
  duration: 14618,
  path: "",
  resultcount: 4,
  hist: "",
  freetext: "Thread",
  results: [
